Tires Vredestein or GISLAVED

I've been really happy with my Vredesteins. They are extremely quiet which is a big plus for me.

they are great for cheap yet surprisingly well performing tires, i personally run the quatrac pro on my 94 miata and it performed impressively well in both rain and snow.

I run the "Vredestein Wintrac Pro" on msw 18's on my mk8 golf r and they rip in all conditions, I ran them all last winter and showed little wear, although I did avoid hot days.

New rubber today, Vredestein hypertracs, good tire ????????

I bought Vredestein Wintrac Pro and have really liked them. I live in western Massachusetts and have a very long gravel driveway up a steep hill. The tires are great and get very good ratings.

Had the Wintrac Pro on my Type R for the past 5 winters and drove them for about 50000km all through central Europe and southern Scandinavia. Never had issues with them, both in the wet and in the snow.

I have the wintrac pro on our GLE, think they’re a really good tire and will probably buy them again. They are also really good in the wet, didn’t have any surprising moments this winter, both in snowy/slushy and wet conditions.

I had Conti Vikingcontacts and those were great. Also, they are hard to find, but Conti owns a company called Gislaved tires who make outstanding winter compounds. They are from Sweden and engineered specifically for Scandinavian, Canadian, and Russian winters.

I had a friend that got a set of 19's from ebay. He said they were ok but wore pretty quickly iirc.

Vredesteins are shit for winter tires, at least in my experience. I had them on my C63, and it was like my car was wearing high heels. It was scary sloppy at 100km+ (60mph+) on the Autobahn.
